If it's Verdun he's very small, quite noisy and he's in the wrong place for cake - they only get hedgehog biccies, peanuts, banana chips and mealworms out there - he'll have to come indoors and pull up a chair at the table to get cake

Good Morning. Bright & sunny here, still cool. Started off like this yesterday and then teemed down later on. Things looking refreshed in the garden and will inspect later. I still need to put up wigwams and continue weeding. Nothing to pot on as yet.

Dove, hope the hedgehogs haven't got colds. Seems most people I've spoken to have some sort of sniffles going on.

Oh! Got agastache Blue Boa coming today. Not sure exactly where they will go but want to put one next to geum tangerine dream. Got a yellow santolina.......lemon fizz.....so prob put the other agastache behind that. So, I guess I do know where they are going..........

All Verdun's plants sound exciting. I have some of them but not the same varieties, not so much choice here in France. Though he said he had an echinacea Papaya the other day and I've just bought an echinacea Guava Ice, which is similar, a bit paler. Here's a google photo as I thought it looked rather pretty and unusual.

late, WW day and OH temper day, and dog is unhappy, we think he's hurt but can't find where, sorry for himself and won't be left. OH went to fetch me from WW and son says he just kept yapping. Anyone any good with dog psychology?

Did I see we are off to Cornwall to see Verdun's garden?? I'm visiting Cornwall end of June beginning of July = is that any good for dates all?

Waiting for the high winds and rain Is anyone suffering it yet?

Brought toms, peppers and stuff into house last night will leave them here till this weather system has gone, then I really will have to set to and put them in their final resting places.

Well, I think the colour of the plant would go with the name. Did used to wear it a rather bright red, but have calmed down in my old age.

That is a lovely plant though BL. I have put it on my list to see if they have one at the GC, as and when I get there. Have to wait for Winter to finish first.

What I found really annoying last night FG was that the helpline was a call centre!! Nuff said. Just went round and round in circles as they asked the same questions over and over again which were all in the 'troubleshooting' booklet that came with the modem. In the end, I refused to go through it all again. Chap last night told me they had only been on a crash course and all they could do was follow the book. ( 'Doh' smilley). Said he would get an engineer to call me today. Got a call this morning, guess who from.

Have made a complaint to BT.

Look on the bright side GillyL. You won't have to wash your feet tonight.
